Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide public health problem. It manifests as either insulin-dependent or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It is associated with several dermatoses, which need to be addressed individually. Dermatoses often provide clues to the status of diabetes. The presence of dermatoses may compound the challenges confronted by the treating physician to modify the management of each patient. Several noninfective and infective dermatoses can act as a forewarning that a particular individual is likely to develop diabetes. This association is highlighted by specific entities, such as necrobiosis lipoidica and granuloma annulare and will be discussed below.

D009335 Necrobiosis Lipoidica A degenerative disease of the dermal connective tissue characterized by the development of erythematous papules or nodules in the pretibial area.
